This was good the only reason for only four stars is because I did alter it a bit. I used two cups of shredded apple, added cinnamon and used applesauce instead of butter. It turned out amazing. I also had to bake it for 70 minute as some of the other reviews stated.

I found this recipe to be pretty tasteless and dry. I suppose with a few tweaks, it could be a fairly decent recipe but, all in all, I'm really not that committed.

Based on others' suggestions, I used 2 cups of apples, replaced the butter with equal part canola oil, and added 1 tsp of cinnamon as well as a dash of cloves. If you decide to use MacIntosh apples, you can get away with using less oil because these apples break down easily when cooked and will provide enough moisture (especially if using 2 cups). However, in that case, you might want to use a mix of apples; otherwise, you won't get the apple chunks that make the loaf so good. I baked it for 70 minutes. Amazing!

Very good and moist! I did what other reviewers suggested, added 2C of apples, 1/2 tsp cloves and 1/2 ground cinnamon. Baked for 60 minutes. However, 1/2 tsp cloves is too strong for me, so next time I reduced it to 1/4 tsp. Thanks for the recipe!

I doubled this recipe and used chopped fresh apple rather than shredding it. The mix was quite dry so I just use some milk to bring it together. It made 3 good sized loaves and when sprinkled with a generous amount of raw sugar and cinnamon, they came out moist with a crunchy topping. And absolute hit at the picnic!

This is a great base-recipe to add your own touches too! Mine came out really yummy, and great as a quick breakfast grab. My modifications were: - Cut back sugar to 3/4 cup - Added 1 tbsp cinnamon, 1/t tsp nutmeg, and 1/4 tsp cardamom - Added 1/4 cup minced kumquats (pits removed), and 1 tbsp water. (I have a kumquat tree and love them. But some orange zest would probably serve a similar flavor touch) - Substituted 1/2 cup of the white flour with Gram (chickpea) flour for body and nutrition - Left out the nuts (personal preference) Thanks for the moisture tips of the other reviews... I think my added kumquats and water covered it.

So I'm kind if cheating buy this is the recipe I decided to use and then last minute I saw the Dutch apple loaf recipe from this site which was the same except with the addition of 1/4 cup buttermilk a streusel topping and 2 cups apple. I also used a tsp baking soda and powder. And added a little bit more apple than 2 cups and this was sooooo fantastic and extremely moist and soft. Thanks for the great base! Oo ps add cinnamon to the bread mixture and maybe even a fourth cup of chocolate chips, delicious:)
